Chapter 3. Interpretation
Equipment
The DCN system offers comprehensive facilities for simultaneous interpretation and distribution of
the interpreted languages to delegates, allowing the system to meet all the demands of international
conference and congress venues. All interpretation facilities are fully integrated in the basic system
concept, with digital distribution of the language signals using the same cabling as all the other system
functions.

LC-display
The interpreter desks provides each interpreter with all the necessary facilities according to
internationally agreed standards. The microprocessor controlled desk (A-B type) can handle up to 15
different language channels plus the original floor language. Up to six desks can be fitted per booth.
The desk includes an intercom facility where an intercom handset can be mounted for two-way vocal
communication between interpreters, the chairman and delegates.
Being microprocessor controlled, with a built-in LC-display, the desk in stand-alone systems can be
programmed manually, to preset the allocation of the language channels, channel distribution, and
interlocks. In PC operator controlled systems the desk in combination with dedicated software can be
programmed by the operator to set all functional interlocks and channel allocation parameters.
An innovative function of the interpreter desk is its three personal incoming language pre-select keys.
Instead of having to manually select from all the available channels, the interpreter can quickly pre-
select the three incoming languages which are most relevant as well as the floor language. This allows
quick, secure switching between the preferred languages and reduces the chance of operating errors.
The alphanumeric display gives an at-a-glance indication of the selected language in plain text form. A
further refinement is an indication of the ‘quality level’ of the incoming channels. Up to now,
interpreters often had no way of knowing if they were receiving a direct or an indirect interpretation.
This facility gives them the option of avoiding the use of an
INDIRECT interpretation if a DIRECT
interpretation is available in a language which is known to the interpreter.
The desk also provides for convenient transfer or relay interpretation, to enable the handling of
‘exotic’ languages for which sufficient qualified interpreters are not available. In this case, the DCN’s
unique auto-relay function automatically transmits the relay language to all the other interpreter desks
for onward interpretation.
